Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figures & Vehicles on BBTS

Cowabunga! This one hits a little different, TMNT fans. As many of you already know, Playmates’ long-running Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles license is set to expire at the end of this year, and that means the window to grab some of these amazing classic figures and vehicles is closing fast. Our friends over at BigBadToyStore have a fantastic batch of TMNT items IN STOCK right now, and I wanted to make sure we got the word out before it’s too late. Prices range from $18.99 to $26.99 depending on the item, so these are really accessible for collectors looking to fill some gaps or grab multiples. So let’s take a look at what’s available! First up, we have the 1988 Remastered Action Figure Sets for all four Turtles, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. These 4.5-inch figures each feature 13 points of articulation and come loaded with accessories including throwing stars, punch daggers, their signature weapons, and customizable battle bases with rooftop display pieces that snap together. I just love that you can connect the bases to build out an entire rooftop battle scene. The deco on these is really cool and stays faithful to those original 1988 designs that started it all for so many of us. Each figure is priced at $18.99. Then we have a pair of 2012 Battle Shell figures, Leonardo and Michelangelo, from the 2012 animated series. These are much bigger at around 10 inches tall and feature those super fun opening Battle Shells for interactive play. Leo comes with 2 swords, 2 knives, and 2 throwing stars, while Mikey packs 3 nunchucks and 2 throwing stars. These are $26.99 each and are great for fans of the 2012 show. And finally, how fun is this, the Toilet Taxi with Donatello! This classic vehicle set comes with a 4.5-inch Donnie figure and includes a detachable bowl blaster, pulsating plunger headlights, and toilet paper mud flaps. I always loved the wacky vehicles from the original TMNT toy line, and seeing this one come back in packaging inspired by the original 1990 art is so much fun. This set is also $26.99. With the Playmates license winding down, this could genuinely be one of your last chances to pick up official Playmates TMNT product through a major retailer.

TMNT (1988) Remastered Figure Sets

Here’s a fun shot of all four Turtles lined up together on their connected battle bases, and you can really appreciate how each one has a distinct skin tone, from Leonardo’s olive green to Raphael’s brighter green, Michelangelo’s deep teal, and Donatello’s earthy brown. I like how the individual rooftop sections snap into one continuous scene, with the brick wall running along the back tying everything together while each Turtle gets their own cluster of environmental props scattered at their feet.

It’s cool to see how the combined rooftop scene actually works when all four Turtles are together, with Michelangelo’s nunchucks and their sculpted chain links swinging loose while Raphael’s twin sais catch your eye with those red-wrapped grips matching his mask and knee pads. Leonardo’s dual katanas have a nice silver blade finish that contrasts against his blue accents, and the connected base creates a surprisingly wide display footprint with enough depth to stagger the figures across multiple levels of the brick wall backdrop.

TMNT (1988) Remastered Michelangelo

Michelangelo’s packaging gives you a clear look at his deep teal skin tone through the window, and his orange mask, knee pads, and elbow wraps create a warm contrast against that cooler green that really sets him apart from the rest of the wave. You can see the kusarigama with its silver hook end and the grappling hook accessory flanking him on either side, along with the “M” initial on his belt buckle sitting cleanly inside the knotted black belt.

The back of Michelangelo’s box showcases all four Turtles on their battle bases with a bright yellow layout, and you can see how each figure’s rooftop section features different urban props like ladders, vents, and brick walls that create a sense of a larger connected environment. Something I appreciate here is that the box art along the top corners features those classic cartoon-style Turtle portraits with their big toothy grins, which is a nice nostalgic touch that frames the whole presentation.

Michelangelo’s kusarigama looks great here, with the thin silver chain connecting two hooked blade ends that have a nice weathered metallic finish. I like how the trash can on his rooftop base section has a conical lid and slightly dented sculpt, paired with a small satellite dish antenna cluster on the opposite side of the brick wall.

Michelangelo’s nunchucks look fantastic with their orange-wrapped grips and sculpted silver chain links that actually hang with real weight between the handles. You can see how the “M” belt buckle has a slightly different, more yellowish tone compared to the orange wraps on his wrists and knees, creating a subtle color separation across his gear.

Here’s the full accessory spread for Michelangelo, and it’s a generous haul: a grappling hook, a pair of punch daggers, two throwing stars, the kusarigama, nunchucks, and what looks like a gray mouse figure with three suction-cup styled feet, which is a weird and wonderful little addition. The rooftop base section includes that dark platform with the pizza slice detail and the brick wall backdrop, plus a silver vent structure that looks like a small chimney cap, rounding out the display options nicely at this $18.99 price point.

TMNT (1988) Remastered Donatello

The packaging leans hard into that classic sewer-brick aesthetic, with colorful artwork of all four Turtles peeking over the top edge and a 40th anniversary badge tucked into the upper left corner. You can see Donatello’s full accessory spread through the window, including his purple bo staff, a kusarigama with a sculpted silver chain, two throwing stars, and two punch daggers, all arranged alongside the snap-together battle base and rooftop display pieces.

The back of the box shows all four Turtles posed on their individual battle bases, and I like how you can see the bases are designed with different rooftop elements, from brick walls to vents and pipes, that snap together for a larger scene. Each Turtle is shown with their signature weapons plus the shared extras like throwing stars and punch daggers, so you get a real sense of how loaded these sets are across the whole lineup.

Here’s a closer look at Donatello out of the box, and the skin texture across his entire body is really impressive, covered in a dense, bumpy sculpt that gives him a rough, leathery feel you wouldn’t expect at 4.5 inches. The kusarigama looks great with its blue-wrapped grip and spiked flails swinging freely on sculpted chain links, and I like how the rooftop base includes little environmental details like a pizza slice, a knocked-over trash can lid, and some scattered wiring near the brick wall section.

Donatello’s bo staff has a nice two-tone brown and purple color split, and the “D” initial on his belt buckle is a small but appreciated nod to the classic ’88 design. You can see how the rooftop base includes a gray HVAC unit with vented panel detailing and a silver dome vent piece sitting near the edge, adding some fun environmental variety to the display setup.

Here’s the full accessory spread for Donatello, and at 4.5 inches with 13 points of articulation, he comes loaded with gear: the punch daggers have a black ribbed grip texture that contrasts nicely against the silver blades, and the throwing stars have a clean four-point sculpt. I like how the black shoulder strap and belt harness wrap tightly around the orange plastron, with the strap crossing diagonally and the belt cinching low with that knotted tail hanging off the side.

TMNT (1988) Remastered Leonardo

Leonardo’s packaging follows the same sewer-brick design as the rest of the wave, with the all four Turtles artwork wrapping across the top, and through the window you can see his full loadout including dual katanas, a multi-bladed weapon with a silver finish, a weapons rack, throwing stars, and punch daggers. I like how the “L” initial on his belt buckle is a nice callback to the original ’88 figure, and his blue mask, knee pads, and elbow wraps pop against the muted olive green of his skin.

The back of the box gives you a nice overview of the full four-Turtle lineup on their battle bases, and I like how each figure’s customizable rooftop section includes distinct environmental props, so Michelangelo gets the trash can and brick wall while Donatello has the HVAC unit and cabling. Each set also comes with its own kusarigama variant alongside the signature weapons, which is a cool bonus that adds some variety to the shared accessory pool across the wave.

Leonardo’s blade weapon is a real eye-catcher up close, with its curved, multi-pronged silver blade connected to a twisted blue cord that matches the wrapping on his katana grip. The rooftop base under his feet includes a sculpted skylight with blue-tinted panels and a silver pipe antenna cluster off to the side, and I like how the pizza slice tucked near the brick wall is a fun recurring detail across these sets.

One thing I noticed right away is how the weapons rack on Leonardo’s back is designed with a clean black X-strap harness that holds the swords snugly against the shell, letting him dual-wield the katanas while keeping everything looking functional and secure. The blue knee pads and elbow wraps have a slightly different shade from the mask, with the pads being a brighter, more saturated blue that adds some tonal variety across the figure’s accessories.

Here’s the full accessory spread for Leonardo, and it’s a loaded set with dual katanas featuring blue-wrapped grips, a weapons rack, the multi-pronged blade weapon, a pair of throwing stars, two punch daggers with that ribbed black handle detail, and a skylight rooftop piece with those tinted blue panels. I like how the skin texture on his arms and legs has that same dense, pebbled sculpt you see across the whole wave, and the “L” on his belt buckle sits inside a clean silver frame that ties in with the gray tones on his weapons.

TMNT (1988) Remastered Raphael

Raphael’s packaging follows the same sewer-brick card design as the rest of the wave, and through the window you can see his full loadout including twin sais with red-wrapped grips, a double-ended hammer weapon, throwing stars, punch daggers, and the weapon holster strapped across his chest. I like how the “R” initial on his belt buckle is clearly framed against the black belt, and his bright green skin tone is noticeably warmer and more saturated than any of the other Turtles in the wave.

The back of Raphael’s box mirrors the bright yellow layout seen across the wave, with all four Turtles shown on their individual rooftop sections, and each base features a distinct combination of urban props like ladders, satellite dishes, and vented pipe clusters. It’s nice to see the product callouts highlighting the customizable battle base system and 13 points of articulation, reinforcing that these $18.99 sets are designed to snap together into one sprawling rooftop diorama.

Raphael’s rooftop base section includes a brick chimney with twin gray pipe stacks and a silver access ladder leaning against the back wall, both of which are sculpted with enough surface detail to feel like genuine urban fixtures. I noticed that the red wraps on his wrists and knees carry a slightly deeper crimson compared to the brighter red of his mask, which creates a nice layered color palette across the figure.

Raphael’s full accessory spread is impressive for the price point, with twin sais, the double-ended hammer weapon featuring gray hammerheads on a red-wrapped shaft, a pair of punch daggers, two throwing stars, and that black weapon holster with its cross-strap design. You can see how the rooftop base includes a brick wall section with a small access door sporting a silver latch, plus a dark platform with a pizza slice and what looks like a manhole cover detail embedded in the surface.

TMNT (2012) Battle Shell Leonardo Action Figure

Leonardo’s 2012 animated design really comes through at this 10.5-inch scale, with the brown leather shoulder strap and belt harness featuring sculpted gold buckle clasps, and the gray elbow and knee wraps adding a rugged, tactical look that’s distinct from the ’88 remastered figures. His shell pops open for weapon storage, and you can see through the packaging window that the included accessories are a pair of swords, two knives, and two throwing stars, all tucked alongside the figure.

The back of Leonardo’s 2012 Battle Shell packaging shows all four Turtles in their animated designs, each with their shells popped open to reveal the weapon storage feature, with gold disc-shaped shields and signature weapons displayed alongside them. I like how the layout pairs each Turtle with a smaller inset showing the open shell from behind, so you get a clear sense of how the swords, sais, nunchucks, and bo staff all tuck inside.

Leonardo’s 2012 animated design scales up nicely here, with the orange plastron featuring crisp segmented lines and the brown leather strap crossing diagonally with those small gold buckle clasps catching your attention. His blue mask has a great flowing tail that sweeps back over the shell, and the katanas feature two distinctly different hilt wraps, one in brown and one in gray, which is a nice subtle asymmetry.

Leonardo’s 2012 animated design carries some great textural work across the green skin, with crisscrossing scratch marks and scaly ridges running down the arms and legs that give the sculpt a worn, battle-tested feel at this larger scale. The katanas are molded in a flat gray with simple squared-off guards, and the tan foot wraps have a tightly wound, layered texture that contrasts nicely against the two-toed feet peeking out below.

Here’s a closer look at the Battle Shell feature from behind, and you can see how Leonardo’s shell swings open on a hinge to reveal a smooth, concave interior with a molded clip designed to hold his weapons snugly in place. The gray throwing stars and knives are tucked into the storage compartment alongside a sculpted gear mechanism near the top of the shell, which adds a nice mechanical detail to the whole setup.

Leonardo comes loaded with accessories at this 10.5-inch scale, including a pair of katanas with brown-wrapped grips, two knives with angular silver blades, and two throwing stars with that classic six-pointed design. I like how the brown leather knee pads have a weathered, stitched texture with visible buckle straps on the sides, and the tan foot wraps show individual cloth layers that give them a hand-bound look distinct from the smoother elbow wraps higher up.

TMNT (2012) Battle Shell Michelangelo Action Figure

Michelangelo’s 2012 animated design looks great at this 9.75-inch scale, with his orange mask sitting wide across the face and those bright blue eyes peeking out from under a heavy brow ridge that gives him a fun, expressive personality. The packaging window reveals all three nunchucks and two throwing stars alongside him, and you can see the inset photo in the upper right showing the Battle Shell popped open with accessories and a gold disc shield stored inside.

The back of Michelangelo’s 2012 Battle Shell packaging shows all four Turtles with their shells popped open, and each one has a gold disc shield stored inside alongside their signature weapons, giving you a clear look at how the storage system works across the whole lineup. You can see how Leonardo and Raphael’s smaller inset photos mirror the open-shell views of Donatello and Michelangelo, reinforcing that the weapon storage feature is consistent across all four figures in this wave.

Michelangelo’s 2012 animated design carries over nicely here, with his freckled cheeks and that wide, toothy grin giving him the most personality-packed face sculpt in the wave. The nunchucks feature a chunky, segmented brown handle design with gray plastic chain links, and his three-fingered hands grip them with a satisfying, secure fit.

Michelangelo’s 2012 Battle Shell design shows off some fun details at this scale, with the orange plastron featuring a slightly pebbly surface texture and a brown belt with squared-off buckle clasps sitting right at the waistline. The nunchucks here have a chunkier, more stylized look with reddish-brown handles connected by silver chain links, and the cross-hatched texture on his foot wraps adds a woven fabric feel that’s a nice touch on the sculpt.

Here’s a closer look at Michelangelo’s Battle Shell feature from behind, and the hinged shell swings wide to reveal a deep interior compartment with molded slots designed to hold his nunchucks and throwing stars securely in place. The red weapon harness crisscrossing the inside of the shell has a gear-like hub at its center with gray chain link details connecting to the nunchuck handles, which is a clever way to keep everything organized and accessible.

Michelangelo’s 2012 Battle Shell figure stands at 9.75 inches, and here you get a nice overview of everything included, with the accessories laid out alongside him: a kusarigama with a hooked blade end, two reddish-brown throwing stars, and two sets of nunchucks connected by sculpted gray chain links. I like how the diamond-shaped notches running down each nunchuck handle add a repeating geometric texture that ties all the weapons together visually as a matching set.

TMNT Toilet Taxi with Donatello Set

The Toilet Taxi packaging is a love letter to the original 1990 box art, with that wild illustrated scene of Donatello tearing through puddles on the green and red vehicle while water splashes everywhere and a Foot Soldier gets blasted off to the side. Through the window on the right, you can see the included Donatello figure sporting his black cross-strap harness, white goggles pushed up on his forehead, and a small wrench accessory dangling from his belt, while a smaller inset photo below shows the fully assembled Toilet Taxi with its oversized toilet bowl turret and chunky red-hubbed wheels.

The back of the Toilet Taxi box is a treasure trove of labeled callouts, and I like how every ridiculous feature gets its own name, from the Shower Head Foot Detection Device perched on its pipe arm to the Turtle Grimace Dumper-Bumper molded into the front of the chassis. The inset photo in the lower left shows the pull-back action in motion, with an arrow indicating the direction of travel, while the circular detail shots along the top highlight the sanitized turtle sewer seat with its full toilet bowl sculpt and the sewer sink steering wheel with its dual faucet handles.

The fully assembled Toilet Taxi is an absolute riot of color and detail, with those chunky manhole cover wheels stamped “City Sewer,” red faucet-handle handlebars, a pair of blue horn trumpets jutting off the front, and a jerry can and plunger headlight crammed onto the fender like someone raided a junkyard. Donatello fits right into the driver’s seat sporting his white racing helmet with purple and magenta stripes, tinted goggles, and gray driving gloves, while a cobbled-together pipe flagpole rises from the rear with a checkered yellow “Flush the Foot” pennant flapping at the top.

Donatello’s Toilet Taxi variant sports a distinct look from the standard ’88 remastered figure, with that white racing helmet featuring purple and magenta stripes sitting snugly over his tinted goggles, and the gray driving gloves adding a utilitarian feel you don’t get with the regular release. The orange bo staff has a great braided rope texture running its full length, and the black cross-strap harness with its yellow-eyed buckle cinches tightly over the golden plastron, giving this version of Donnie a completely different silhouette from the battle base figure.

You can see how the pull-back wind-up action works here, with the Toilet Taxi launching forward and those toilet paper mud flaps fluttering behind the rear axle as the whole vehicle zips across the surface. The detachable bowl blaster mounted on top fires off red projectiles while Donatello grips the faucet-handle handlebars, and I like that the plunger headlights actually pulsate during the rollout, adding another layer of absurd charm to an already ridiculous vehicle.

Here’s a closer look at the Toilet Taxi spread out with Donatello alongside it, and the vehicle’s sheer density of junkyard detail is impressive, from the red spoiler bar with ventilation cutouts wrapping around the toilet seat cockpit to the cobbled-together crossbow turret mounted on the rear with its red pincer clamps and cream-colored fin. The “Flush the Foot” pennant sits atop a pipe assembly with silver valve fittings and gauge dials, and I like how the green chassis has that organic, almost sewer-slime sculpted surface that contrasts against all the bolted-on mechanical bits.
